This is a part of something much larger. Any ideas out there? Judging from past guessing posts, it won't take the hedgehoggers long to figure it out. Good luck!
Its part of a neck collar that a medieval torturer would wear to look more ferocious.

It has been over 55 years since I was on the farm.
A "drill" was used to plant wheat. We never planted wheat, but wheat seed was essentially broadcast on the ground using the drill.

I see a bead of weld behind the row of rivets, looks like a old road grader blade. Plus some of the rivots are wore in one direction, like it might have been pushing gravel. But since U said its hollow, beats me.

We have a winner! MT Shooter got it first. Audie Thornburg was second. Birdie....1947 had the next best guess. Thank you all for jumping in and having a go at it. These have been on site since the early 1900's and part of an old marl production plant which produced lime products for masonry and for farm fields. Some of the ruins of the building still remain at Scuppernong Springs in the Southern Unit of Kettle Moraine State Forest in southeast Wisconsin. A person at the DNR Station thought they were boilers, but also said they could possibly be culverts of some type.They look like boilers to me. Both pieces have the same two openings in them.

Thank you. I knew when I posted the second picture showing the curvature of it someone would figure it out pretty quickly. Though I did not think it would be the very next guess.

It seems to be very old and very well-used. Also seems to have been unused for a long time. Possibly an agricultural implement. Is it upside down? Could be some sort of towed rake.

Somehow from the time I looked and the time I posted a time warp must have happened. I hadn't seen it was solved.
